Devata With Lotus Flow

Created by local artists in Siem Reap, Cambodia, this depiction of Devata with Lotus Flow is painted on Lacquer panel. Sections of Angkor’s temples were once bright with colorful lacquer from local trees. These artisans bring this ancient technique to classic and contemporary designs, celebrating its vibrancy and preserving an artform that had almost faded from awareness.

These Cambodian artisans gain inspiration from the temples of Angkor. The ancient stonemasons provided a powerful benchmark for unique design and refined artistry. In the 1990s, this organization had their first artisans trained by masters in the restoration of temple sculptures. Now they are often called upon to continue this work. Their dedication to the precise technique of the ancients brings out the soul in each piece.

Includes the wooden stand.
